A clear cloudless sky
The air is cold and dry

In my silent hermitage

The gentle touch of timelessness
Is so much more than I can grasp
I become inarticulate --

A coyote briefly trots by
A satellite is launched into space
Saturn is slowly turning direct
In Andromeda a new star is born
A sparrow appears on the windowsill
A new Buddhist Nun has her long hair shorn
An ocean wave becomes perfectly still
